Democrats are being accused of running a “blatant lie” about the immigration crisis at the US southern border.
Texas state Sen. Roland Gutierrez called the recent death of migrants crossing the Rio Grande River near Eagle Pass a “murder,” saying the deaths that occur when the migrants trying to enter the United States illegally are “because of the obstacles” placed on the river by the Texas government. Greg Abbott.
The Democrat running against U.S. Rep. Colin Allred in an attempt to ultimately unseat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz this year filed charges of “at a minimum” failure to stop and render aid and “possibly negligent homicide at a maximum “.
Telling a blatant lie, and now @RolandForTexascandidate for the United States Senate, calls it murder.
These migrants died for over an hour before Mexico even notified the Border Patrol, who then notified TX.
This is confirmed by the Biden administration's own Department of Justice. https://t.co/zWLUSl8Z4I

Fox News reporter Bill Melugin called out Gutierrez on social media, accusing him of “peddling a blatant lie.”
“These migrants died for over an hour before Mexico even notified the Border Patrol, who then notified TX,” Melugin wrote. “This is confirmed by the Biden administration's own Justice Department.”
The Houston Chronicle reported:
A senior Border Patrol official said three migrants who died Friday crossing the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass had already drowned when agents received a distress call from Mexico, countering initial claims that the woman and the two children had drowned after state troopers prevented federal agents from arriving. they.
Still, Robert Danley, the chief patrol agent in the Del Rio sector, said in an affidavit that Texas troopers prevented Border Patrol agents from reaching two other migrants who were struggling in the river friday night Those migrants were rescued by a Mexican seaplane and were suffering from hypothermia.
The Biden administration criticized Texas for the incident before it was reported that the migrants had already died before officers arrived.
It turns out @RepCuellar (and some media) were so eager to point to Texas for drowning migrants that they forgot to get the facts.
By the time BP requested access to the river, the drownings had already occurred and been found in MX.
The fact is the deaths are b/c of ​​Biden's Open Border magnet. https://t.co/MAScagsUXl

The drownings were reported to have occurred at 8 p.m., but authorities in Mexico did not advise #USBP until 21:00, one hour after the incident. This completely discredits all the reports that prematurely criticized Texas without any factual information. Unfortunately, the loss of life… https://t.co/CpYohy9QUj

Earlier this week, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said the Biden administration needed to come clean about what really happened with the deaths.
“When you accuse someone of being a part, causing the death of migrants, you should have the facts straight, and if you don't, you should correct those facts so the American people know you were wrong,” Paxton said. .
They try to turn criminals into victims.
The only victims here are the United States and Americans.

No retraction shows you these Dems literally don't care, they just posted it with no regrets….

Democrats like Roland Gutiérrez have no soul.
He stands on the bodies of dead illegals to try to continue his political campaign.
He also lies about how they died and is attacking innocent Americans.
He ignores that if we had a secure border none of this would have happened.
